Praise for The Virtual Handshake: “Today, everyone has to learn how to use technology to grow their network. The authors have written a groundbreaking book that shows very clearly the options available to anyone and how technology can be used to multiply one’s reach. This is a major contribution to the way in which people do business.” —Richard Guha, Principal, The New England Consulting Group; former President, Reliant Energy Retail

This book is the first comprehensive volume on the computer simulation of plant development. It contains a full account of the algorithms used to model plant shapes and developmental processes, Lindenmayer systems in particular. With nearly 50 color plates, the spectacular results of the modelling are vividly illustrated. "This

This Mini Missing Manual takes you down the virtual rows of Apple's iBookstore, to help you find, buy, and download books and subscribe to magazine and newspapers on your iPad. You'll learn now to navigate your books and periodicals and sync them back to iTunes to swap them on and off your iPad to free up storage space.

After studying this chapter, you should be able to: Define virtual memory; describe the hardware and control structures that support virtual memory; describe the various OS mechanisms used to implement virtual memory; describe the virtual memory management mechanisms in UNIX, Linux, and Windows 7.

ava technology has evolved from a programming language designed to create machine-independent embedded systems into a robust, vendor-independent,machine-independent, server-side technology, enabling the corporate community to realize the full potential of eb-centric applications.

OpenVPN is a powerful, open source SSL VPN application. It can secure site-to-site connections, WiFi and enterprise-scale remote connections. While being a full-featured VPN solution, OpenVPN is easy to use and does not suffer from the complexity that characterizes other IPSec VPN implementations. It uses the secure and stable TLS/SSL mechanisms for authentication and encryption. This book is an easy introduction to this popular VPN application.

Does grammar bother you? Does it inspire ﬁrst boredom, then fear? Since the virtual removal forty years ago of formal grammar teaching from our schools’ standard curriculum, such negative responses have increasingly characterised students and professionals alike. As this lively and accessible book sets out to prove, that is both unfortunate and unnecessary. Not only is grammar an enabling servant rather than a tyrannical set of absolute rules: it can also be fun.

Complacency is dangerous, especially in a rapidly changing world. For
decades, Japanese bankers were complacent with a rapidly growing
economy and with cozy relationships with government bureaucrats who
pursued policies that virtually eliminated traditional banking risks.
Rapid economic growth, for instance, provided a steady ﬂow of deposits,
which in turn ﬁnanced corporate expansion. Rapid economic growth fur-
ther fueled corporate proﬁts and asset inﬂation that made the repayment
of loans almost...

We use computers in our daily lives, sometimes becoming so engrossed in the virtual
world that we stop being conscious of the computer’s presence. Computers’ increasing capabilities,
such as faster processing, larger capacity, and wide-band networking, make it
possible for us to interact seamlessly with them. The field of human-computer interaction is
the study of interaction between people (users) and computers. It is often regarded as the intersection
of computer science, behavioral science, design, psychology, sociology, and several
other fields.

This document provides design guidance for enterprises that want to provide Internet and limited
corporate access for their guests and partners. Several solutions for guest and partner access challenges
are proposed and analyzed in this document, at both the architectural and functional levels.

In the language of C++, a class that is inherited is called a base class. The class that does the inheriting is called a derived class. Therefore, a derived class is a specialized version of a base class. A derived class inherits all of the members defined by the base class and adds its own, unique elements. C++ implements inheritance by allowing one class to incorporate another class into its declaration. This is done by specifying a base class when a derived class is declared. Let’s begin with a short example that illustrates several of the key features of inheritance....
